My Trip to Orlando

Hey Bloggers,
I thought it'd be nice if I shared some of my travels and fun times with you!
My latest trip was to Orlando. Originally, I was going up to hang out with my sister Ashley who is in school at UCF. I asked a friend girl of mine to tag along but since she was unable to I decided to use the opportunity to treat one of my best friends, Ross, for his 33rd Birthday. Since I get exclusive discounts with a particular airline the round trip ticket for a day was only $40 each! What a deal right? Well, on  the morning of the 25th Ross and i got on a plane and flew to O-town. While there, he and I along with my sister enjoyed a day at Wet-N-Wild's theme park. We had sooooo much fun! Don't believe me? check us out...

So i guess you can see that we had loads of fun! I miss my sister already. Cant wait to hang with her again...

Well, as for Ross, I see and talk to him often...lol... That's my dude. Yea yo!



Love

When I asked why he loves me he said,
"Because of your originality, there is nothing fake about you. You don't want to be someone that you are not. You've been real from the very beginning. You are loyal and true to our friendship and never cease to let me know in actions, words, and deeds that you love me and appreciate my friendship. You stand on your own 2 feet and at times have to go toe to toe with me, but you respect me enough as a ma not to cross the line, and you accept when I'm right and when you're wrong. You are a beautiful person all around. You never make me choose between you and our friends. The list goes on and on... I see that you are trying you best to be true to your relationship with God. That within its self is worth loving. I might be in my feelings, but I love you in more ways than one. However, I do wonders to suppress it. It doesn't always work. Every moment spent with you is fun, loving, and enticing. In different ways you make me feel special. I feel a connection that is not ordinary. I never leave your presence with regrets of having just been in your presence. In my vulnerability, you never took advantage of me. That made me respect and fall in love with you even more. You know what a good man is supposed to be like and you saw that in me and cherished it. That's worth loving. I've been disappointed by women who claim to be friends, but of course they were not true. You have set yourself above many others. The more I spend time with you the more I see the qualities I long for in a woman and it makes me start falling more in love with who I see, which subsequently makes me want us to become an item. Of being the person that I am I hate the thought of being rejected. So I fall back to save myself from facing rejection."

Can you imagine someone actually articulating these words to you ladies? Im just saying...

Hello Chicago!

So I went on my 1st trip to Illinois. The reason for our trip was to celebrate Morning Star’s Church Anniversary in Kankakee. We took a tour of the city of Kankakee and Chicago on that Friday when we arrived. Then on Saturday we walked through downtown Chicago on the trip on Michigan Ave. While all the ladies were doing their shopping, me and my little lady Brianna played dress up…

On Sunday we fellowshipped and attended church. Rev. Alphonso Jackson, Jr. preached the early service and Pastor Alphonso Jackson, Sr. preached the 11am service. Bother were great. The weather was AWESOME! I can’t wait to go back next year…Here are some other pics I took in the city. Hope you enjoy!

Let me Be...

This one is dedicated to my future King...


Let me treat you like the mighty and awesome king you are
Let me do my job as you partner and protect your heart,
I was created from the rib that was in your side
You were created to rule and by you I'll abide,
Let me be your queen who willingly submits
I will follow your lead and assist where you see fit,
Let me pamper you with the affection you heart and body desires
I am what you want, I have what you require,
Let me rub you down after a hard day of ruling
In your peaceful palace where their is no room for dueling
Let me prepare a meal that is fit for a king
Let me be the one you seek to fulfill your fantasies
Let me wrap my love around you as you pour yours into me
Let us replenish God's earth with future kings and queens,
Let me be your prayer worrier, Let me be your strength
Let me be the Queen of you Heart the resides within
Let me be...

Mistletoe

This journey that I've been traveling on keeps sending in the wrong direction
But I have a new driver, I'm the passenger, and in the mirror I'm his reflection.
With that being said I have a new found appreciation for what I see
I'm a daughter of the most high so the one I give my heart to has to be royalty.
I've settled for less knowing what was best for me, I admit I just wanted to have fun
But I know He created me with a partner in mind, and their could only be one.
Why did I have to realize this just recently with holidays being so near
Everyone's happily smiling and laughing with the one they hold so dear.
So I find myself taking frequent rides as the thoughts race through my mind
Of how I should've been sharing these moments with you loving every minute in time.
Its been months since I had the chance to share these feelings but I thought u should know
That your name is "tatted" in my heart and I want u under my mistletoe...

Ur my pain, Yet I long 4 U...

I can't stop it.

How do I deal with this?

I thought I put this away but it keeps resurfacing in my life.

Everywhere I turn its there!

Pain.

Hey, how you doing? We meet again...I can't forget about you because with practically every move I make in life you're there to remind me that I'm still dealing with you.

Pain.

They love me. Yea, they do.

And sometimes I love them too but in a way that I should be loving you! You didn't take me out to dinner at nice restaurants to show me how I should expect to be treated. You didn't stop to make phone calls to find out what I needed.

You didn't tell me u love me. U didn't show me how I should be loved.

You didn't tell me why I was supposed to secure my "goods".

Where were you when I needed to be taught how not to provoke a man?

Why didn't you tell me how to pick up on the clue and realize that he's just not that into me?

You should've been the one to tell me that he wasn't your choice for me and not to call him after he dropped me off home at 2am!

You should've been here when that nigga made me cry, to tell me that he didn't really care for me! You should've held me. But you didn't!

So now I'm trying to figure out why the hell I get so attached to a guy when he shows me the least bit of affection.
When he holds my hand I squeeze really tight because I'm secretly hoping that he wants to guide me through the phases of true love.
I intertwine my fingers in his hoping that he will protect me from all the things you didn't!
But when he corrects me I look at him side ways and in the back of my mind I'm wondering "why does he think he's my daddy?".
Who is gonna be there to make sure the oil in my car is changed and make sure that I have a spare tire in my trunk?

When a guy realizes that he wants to spend his life with me who is he supposed to go to and ask for my hand in marriage? Are u gonna be there to give me away? Nope. You haven't been there and I suppose I never will. Yet you find a way to show up and remind me that what I want from you is what I'm looking for in him!

So I'm sitting up at 3:07 am crying rivers from my eyes longing for YOU! For you to tell me that you will always love me. And longing for you to sit and listen to my silent cries and tell me everything is gonna be alright.

How is it that the very thing I long for is the root of all my pain?

Hey Daddy

I was 12 years old the first time u and I eva met
Nothing like how I imagined didn't know what to expect
Kinda cute so I could see why the ladies put u on a throne
But time revealed to them, and now me that poppa was a rolling stone.
Had I known I'd only see ya every once in a while
I woulda never even half way believed that I was really your child
Just me, mamma, my lil brother and sister
That's all I knew and to this day ur still just a "mister".
You missed every singing engagement and all the basketball games
But when your church needed a song I was there, aint that a shame?!
Like many girls I was seeking that fatherly love
I searched all around but never bothered to look above.
Sure enuff mamma taught be about the bee's and the birds
I took notes from her life so every word she said was heard
Hey daddy, on 2 of my teams I was voted MVP
I wore #11 until High School then I switched to #23
I played badminton, was a cheerleader, and I even ran track
I went to college as 1, came back as 1, I'm still 1 how bout that?
I was never a late night dancer, never had a rep' of being "shone"
But I'm guilty of looking to men to fill the void of being alone
I thought I was past my anger of thinking I never made u proud
U never treated me like ur child but ima child of God and I'll say it loud!
Hey daddy, I'm a child of God and I tell it wherever I go
I'm serving with attitude God and I thought that u should know
I still love u and not just because God says so but because its right
I'll pray for you and for my strength
Signed,
Daughter of the Most High

EVER WONDER....just for laughs

DO YOU EVER WONDER...

Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed?

Why don't you ever see the headline 'Psychic Wins Lottery'?

Why is 'abbreviated' such a long word?

Why is it that doctors call what they do 'practice'?

Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?

Why the man who invests all your money called a broker?

Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?

Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?

Why do they sterilize the needles for lethal injections?

You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?!

Why are they called APARTtments when they are all stuck together?

If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?

Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread the stupidity by encouraging them to read it!

Light Bulb...just for laughs

I urgently needed a few days off work, but I knew the Boss would not allow me to take leave. I thought that maybe if I acted "Crazy" then he would tell me to take a few days off. So, I hung upside-down on the ceiling and made funny noises.
My co-worker (who's blonde) asked me wha t I was doing. I told her that I was pretending to be a light bulb, So, that the Boss might think I was "Crazy" and give me a few days off.

A few minutes later the Boss came into the office and asked, "What in the name of goodness are you doing?" I told him I was a light bulb. She said, "You are clearly stressed out. Go home and recuperate for a couple of days."

I jumped down and walked out of the office...

When my co-worker (the blonde) followed me, the Boss asked her, "..And where do you think you're going?!"

(You're gonna love this....)

She said, "I'm going home, too. I can't work in the dark."

SENIOR DRIVING ... just for laughs

As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his car phone rang. Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him, "Herman, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on Interstate 77. Please be careful!"

"Heck," said Herman, "It's not just one car. It's hundreds of them!"

Spread the Stupidity...Just for laughs

Only in America…do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.

Only in America ......do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke.


Only in America ......do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters.


Only in America ......do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.


Only in America ......do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.


Only in America ......do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.


Only in America .....do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.

Banks, People, & God

Banks...
We make deposits and withdrawals. In order to get the full potential of what the banks purpose is we have to do both. One day something unexpected happens and you may need to make a withdrawal. Naturally we expect that their will be sufficient funds since we've made numerous deposits. When we can't withdraw, not even a portion of what we've put into this account we're confused. Then we get a message stating that it was an error on the bank. Granted, its very rare that this happens. Never the less, we furious over it!

This is what happens with relationships...
We pour, and pour, and pour so much into it. Then something unexpected happens (such as a disagreement amongst each other, or something may have happened and you just need that person to be there for you) but they don't react or respond in a way that you expect. Many other times before you may have been able to turn to them for encouragement, or maybe they reacted to the situation in a way that you expected. But not this time. And you're furious!

But with God...
All I'm going to say is that when people are like bank's, God is that accessible ATM with no business hours! He's always accessible! And you can rest assured that when you make deposits with you PRAYER, with your PRAISE, with your WORSHIP, with your LOVE, with your ADORATION to him, and with your TRUST in HIM to be your guide in every step you take and every decision you make, you are guaranteed to receive an out pour that's exceedingly, abundantly, and above all you could ever ask or think!!!!
(( Praise Break ))

(In the words of Steve Harvey) Now you can take that to the bank!

My Funny Valentine(s)

So…


I had a lovely Valentines Holiday. Everything about it was unexpected. Even the gifts…

To set things off... AGAIN!

So to set this off let me express how angry I am. I had a BEAUTIFUL blog page set up recently. Make a few bad clicks and POOF!!! It’s gone! I had pictures and posts archived from 2008. So yes, im still a little heated. Anyway, I’m not going to start my blog off with an “About Me”. That can wait until later. Hope you show some love while you’re here and I hope you enjoy what you read…
